Here we go again (NC teacher??) [View all]

I just got up this morning to find one of my 'friends' had sent me this video of a teacher in North Carolina (rightfully) telling a student you can't just say what you want to about the President.

Does anybody know if this is real or fake? This person has sent me other things like this before, and I'd really like to throw it back in their faces on this one. It seems to over the top to be real. It's a youtube link, but just audio supposedly recorded by another student.
